RESTful triple space management of cloud architectures

Abstract

In this paper we present a job coordination service for distributed applications being executed in a Hadoop cluster based on the use of a RDF backed triple space and a RESTful web services interface. The system provides an efficient and simple coordination mechanism to resolve data dependencies between applications and it can be used at the same time as a rich source of information about the state and activity of the cluster that can be processed to build additional services and resources. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
